Where does the future lie after Crysis 3? In our exclusive talk with Cevat Yerli we learn that... they don't know. Right now they're "experimenting" where it could go, but it will "probably" go F2P.

It brings the third full instalment closer to the original game, he remarked, "as opposed to Crysis 2." That 'hunter's aspect' was the creative driving force for Crytek - birthing the "seven wonders".
